Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00601
The "Preservation Interns - Guadalupe Mountains/Carlsbad Caverns" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00601) is a National Park Service notice connected to a cooperative agreement that supports paid, hands-on internship placements focused on cultural resources and interpretation work within the National Park System. The core purpose is to have a recipient organization recruit, select, and supervise qualified undergraduate and graduate students who will be embedded with NPS staff and contribute meaningfully to preservation-related and public-facing interpretation projects. While the title highlights Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns, the description indicates placements can occur across multiple park units and NPS offices nationwide, with intern assignments matched to both the students' academic strengths and the specific needs of each site.
The award is structured as a discretionary Cooperative Agreement, reflecting a collaborative relationship in which the recipient does more than simply deliver a product; it actively coordinates with NPS and oversees interns working day-to-day alongside federal staff. Interns are expected to receive substantive assignments aligned with their fields of study rather than purely observational experiences, meaning they may participate in real project work in cultural resources (such as documentation, collections support, historic preservation assistance, research, or related compliance and stewardship activities depending on site needs) and in interpretation (such as developing educational content, supporting visitor programs, or assisting with interpretive planning and outreach).
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.945. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $41,514, indicating a relatively small, targeted project scope focused on supporting a limited number of intern placements and associated coordination costs.
Importantly, this posting is not open for competition. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent, and it states that no applications are being accepted because the task agreement is being issued under an existing cooperative agreement (P17AC00225) that was already awarded through a prior competitive process. The creation date for the notice is August 29, 2018, and there is no application deadline because the agency is not soliciting proposals under this announcement.Apply for P18AS00601
